You do more than just pet the deer at the Deer Farm - you're invited to walk among these delicate and graceful creatures. You're going to love our unique barnyard environment nestled in a beautiful 140 acre foothills setting.

You're invited to get up close and personal with the Rocky Mountain Elk, hug a baby goat, rub a camel, pet zebra and zonkies, stroke an Emu, kiss a kangaroo, and scratch Vietnamese Pot-bellied pigs. You will also be able to pet AMHA mini-horses, as well as their big counter-part, the draft horse (as in Budweiser)! Reindeer, mini-donkies, watusi, exotic cattle and more await you and your treats!

We are confident that you and your family will have a ball here! Make sure you bring your CAMERA! Your candid photos snapped here at the Deer Farm will be the very best taken during your entire trip to the Smokies.

Our facility routinely tests for the few animal diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Our animals are regularly veterinary checked for their benefit, as well as yours. It is our goal to prevent illness before it starts so you will find very healthy animals here. We have a full time zoo keeper staff who maintain a clean and healthy facility for all involved and hand washing facilities are available.

Fawns and elk calves are born Mid-May thru July - a real treat to see. Please remind Dad that antlers are growin' April thru August - full rack September thru March - he'll be thrilled to see them.
